You look exquisite

Two days passed.

Fulfilling the desire of the woman who had been wishing for the time to pass as quick as possible.

"Good morning, my husband!" Vera greeted the man with full of energy.

Ezra already finished changing in early morning even though the woman literally just woke up.

The red colored shirt under a white colored blazer on top, matched like the best pair. He had not styled his hair yet. Just letting it down.

There was no even effort in his style in view of the fact that he did not even get a designer or some.

But still, appeared fine as fuck.

"Mhmm" The man responded.

Stepping near to the mirror stand to take a look at his own reflection.

He did not mind the way Vera called him 'my husband' since she had been addressing him like that.

He got used to it pretty quick.

The man's dry and short reply annoyed the woman.

"Learn to be a good husband who can please his wife" Vera lectured.

It had been two days since she lived with this man under the same roof. Nothing special occurred though.

He always managed to fall asleep on the lounge every night.

He would busy himself everyday.

Meanwhile, Vera would just walk around in the garden daily or visit her mother-in-law, Diana.

Sometimes, she would waste her time on online shopping.

Everyone in the household noticed how cold the relationship between the married couple was.

No matter how much Ezra announced he married Vera for real because of the so called love, no one believed those words at all.

They trusted it was a lie.

"In bed?" Ezra asked back. Adjusting the watch on his wrist while staring at the woman through the mirror reflection.

Unexpected response from the man surprised Vera a bit.

Causing her brows to rise.

This man truly knew how to shut her down with words only.

"I am certain you suck at it"

Along with an eye roll, Vera taunted. Standing up from the bed as the man did not reply anymore.

Instead, he let out a soft chuckle. It captured the woman's attention.

Did he just chuckle?!

Impossible! The man who would always ignore her presence and maintain his cold expression, just chuckled at her words!

Vera quietly stared at the man. Pretty. He got a pretty smile.

However, realization hit her after.

'Wait.. what is he chuckling for?'

Why did he giggle in that way? It seemed as if he found it funny. "Did I hit the right spot, Mister Ezra?" Vera queried in a mocking tone.

About to head into the bathroom.

"Go get ready. You only have two hours left to prepare everything"

Instead of responding, Ezra changed the topic effortlessly. Checking the time on his wrist.

"Alright alright. I am gonna take more than two hours to get ready"

Courageously, Vera provoked.

Walking into the bathroom as the man did not say anything.

This woman truly did not fear him at all. She casually spoke without bothering to consider her words.

She had been like that since the first day. She would mess with him.

Would taunt him as well.

How amusing.

"Finally.."

A grin tugged at Vera's lips. Staring at the reflection in the mirror.

The day she had been waiting had arrived at last. The day which she would be starting the scheme.

The plan to ruin Zane Kingston's joy.

"I shouldn't commence with a huge

blow" Under her breath, Vera spoke to herself. She had a better plot to destroy slowly as he did to her.

An eye for an eye.

A tooth for a tooth.

That's what the woman believed in.

Promptly, Vera did her morning routine. Thirty minutes.

She took half an hour to finish showering and stuffs.

After that, the woman headed to the dressing room which was located on third floor. The designer was there, waiting for Vera patiently.

"Thank you for your time"

As soon as, the woman walked in, she expressed gratitude.

Causing the designer to beam instantly in awareness. "Let's commence. Please come after me"

And so they spent an hour to get ready for the wedding.

"You would capture attention much more than the bride today for sure" Under her breath, the designer stated. Praising Vera in a low tone.

It made the woman chuckle out loud. Designer truly knew how to boost someone's ego simply.

"I have no intention to"

Vera shrugged. Acting all pure with artificial gentle smile on her face.

"Alright, angel. Everything is done"

A quiet sigh escaped between the woman's lips as she notified.

It was the moment, Vera's gaze lifted. Staring at the reflection in the huge mirror in front of her.

The slit v neck white colored lace dress revealed Vera's shoulders.

Hugging her figure tightly.

The pearls curved the v neck line as the diamond necklace glinted in between brightly alone.

Long earrings complimented her neck. Styling hair into low slicked ponytail with two strands out.

The brick colored lips matched with glittery eyes makeup. Pink tinted cheeks embraced the face look.

The red colored lace gloves finished the look simply at last.

Designer already talked with Ezra to match the clothing color with his wife as the married couple.

The reason why the two were styled with white and red colors.

"Um, where are the heels though?"

In realization, Vera queried. Noticing how the designer had yet to show the heels she would be wearing.

It was the moment a smile smeared uo across the woman's face.

"I am certain those are in your room by now" She declared.

Confusing Vera wholly.

"Did you order someone to place there?" She questioned through perplexity. "Go find it out, Mistress"

In the end, Vera had no other options to choose but to follow the instructions out of curiosity. She walked out of the dressing room.

Heading back to the room where she lived with the man.

Since the woman was aware of the fact that Ezra Kingston had left, she straight up stepped into the room.

Not even bothering to knock.

However, the scene in front of her left Vera in pure shock.

Roses upon the bed which she vowed to share with the man, wandered around the box.

It seemed like a gift box clearly.

Making the woman curious. She took several steps forward. Only to take a look since she was not sure.

It could be a present for someone else instead of her.

So she could not be delighted and picked it up right away without knowing who it was for originally.

But there was a letter on the box as if the one who gifted her knew she would hesitate to receive.

"Vera Charlene"

Vera mumbled after reading the letter. It was sent from her husband.

Ezra Kingston wrote this letter.

On the paper, he commanded the woman to open the gift box and make sure to wear it today.

It annoyed Vera somehow.

"This man knows to order only at this point" She rolled her eyes.

Dropping the letter to unbox the present. And the sight of red colored high heels entered.

The design was simple.

But diamonds curving around the heels screamed out loud how much it was highly priced to get.

"He must want to seem as a great husband in others eyes huh?"

Under her breath, Vera murmured along with a chuckle.

She wore the heels right away.

Leaving the room after telling the maids to clean up inside.

The woman purposely commanded them to clean up just to show off Ezra prepared those to gift her.

In hurry, Vera's steps directed down outside of the house.

And there he was, Ezra Kingston waiting for her with his mother in wheelchair from the side.

Diana could not walk anymore even. How heartbreaking to see.

"Did I make you wait for too long, mother?" Straightforwardly, Vera queried the woman.

Ignoring the whole presence of the man. She did not even spare a glance at him and walked past him. Caring about the woman only.

Everyone noticed how Diana and Vera were getting along like friends.

But the woman still had respect to her mother in law also. "You are right on time, Vera" Diana stated.

Wearing a grin across her face at the view of her daughter in law.

Vera nodded in understanding.

"You look beautiful today, mother" She praised right after which caused the woman to giggle.

"Compared to my wrinkles and age, you are more beautiful today"

Diana complimented.

The two women completely did not acknowledge the man's existence.

It caused Ezra to clear his throat at last. Attracting the two attention finally. "Oh, right! We can't be late!"

In awareness, Diana voiced.

She headed into Mercedes Benz with help of others and his own son.

"Wait, we are not going together with her?" Vera asked as soon as she realized Diana left from front.

"Mhmm"

Again, dry response came up from Ezra. Bugging the woman entirely.

Seeing the people surrounding them, Vera quickly stepped near to the man. Then she held his arm.

Her sudden actions surprised Ezra so that he looked down at her in hurry with a slight frown. But then the frown disappeared.

She was acting, nothing more.

"Remember your own words, my dear husband. We are happily married couple now"

In a whisper, Vera reminded.

Thinking the man was going to respond dryly as usual.

However, this time, Ezra's hand wrapped around her waist. Shocking the woman a bit.

"Noted, darling" His voice permeated into Vera's ears.

It was the moment she gulped.

He just called her darling! Not to mention his fake sweet behavior!

No. She had to act cool.

"Let's go then. I am excited!"

A grin tugged at Vera's lips. Staring up into the eyes of the man while they two maintained eye contact.

He smiled still and let out a soft chuckle. "You look exquisite"

Again, unexpected praise from Ezra left the woman in disbelief wholly.

She did not anticipate him to be this good at pretending to be a gentle husband! He truly could switch.

She had to catch up with him quickly before her shocked expression reveal the whole truth.

"It is all thanks to your present that completed my look, honey"

Vera responded. Hugging around the waist of the man as he beamed.

The quick reaction from the woman never failed to amuse Ezra. She never stayed behind in shock.

Always managing to catch up with same energy.

The moment of the married couple surprised everyone around who were observing in tranquility.

There was no way this was real.

The cold relationship between the married couple, suddenly replaced with warm and sweet love.

Gentle affection wandered around them in atmosphere.

Not to mention the fact that Ezra Kingston who would give a dull look to everyone, was now smiling at Vera with full of love in his eyes.

His affectionate gaze focused on his one and only wife, Vera.

He even praised her!

How unfeasible!
